Former England striker Wayne Rooney says he has no hard feelings toward Cristiano Ronaldo but maintains Lionel Messi is the better player.

Rooney, who played alongside Ronaldo at Manchester United from 2004 to 2009, lost two Champions League finals to Messi’s Barcelona in 2009 and 2011.

“I absolutely love Messi, love watching him play and that was the only reason because I think Messi had a little bit more in terms of how he played and taking players on and whatever,” Rooney said.

“Ronaldo’s a killer and people think because I’ve said Messi is better than Ronaldo, I don’t like him or speak down on him.”

In other news….. Nigerian singer Tobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, popularly known as Kizz Daniel, appears to be entangled in legal trouble, according to recent reports.

Online documents indicate that a court may have ordered the freezing of both his personal and business accounts.

This development follows a directive for the artist to pay more than €200,000 in damages after allegedly failing to perform at a show despite receiving a $50,000 advance. Further details are still emerging.

Social media user Bankiis has advised event promoters to avoid booking the singer during this period.

He wrote:

“Promoters are strongly warned against booking ©kizzdaniel. It is a major risk and highly likely to result in loss. From past experience, he has shown a pattern of not showing up for shows, leaving promoters stranded and audiences disappointed. Beyond that, he does not currently have the fanbase or market strength to generate the kind of returns promoters expect.”

“Anyone considering working with him should think carefully, as the chances of profit are very slim compared to the high risk involved. We must put an end to ©kizzdaniel fraudulent practices involving artists and avoid patronizing them, as well as hold promoters in the diaspora-especially in Europe-accountable for overpricing artists and damaging the market.”
